with
acids
,
amines
,
bases
and
strong oxidants
.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV: 3 ppm as TWA; (skin); SEN; (ACGIH 2005).
MAK: skin absorption (H); sensitization of skin (Sh);
Carcinogen category: 3B; Germ cell mutagen group: 2;
(DFG 2005).
OSHA PEL: TWA 50 ppm (270 mg/m3)
NIOSH REL: C 5.6 ppm (30 mg/m3) 15-minute
NIOSH IDLH: 250 ppm See: 2426086
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation of its aerosol
and
by ingestion.
Inhalation Risk:
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance
is irritating to
the eyes
,
the skin
and
the respiratory tract
.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.
May cause heritable genetic damage to human germ cells.
